TAKING BACK CONTROL

OF THE APPRAISAL PROCESS

presented by:

SCOTT HAMLING

Overview

• Manage Premier/CCMC appraisal department• Learned appraisal business in college with father• Experience training realtors – Kentwood Co.• Changing landscape of appraisal industry• Today, appraisals are one of most important

elements to the sale of a property• I’m here to help you with appraisal challenges!

presented by

History

• In 2009: Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC)

• HVCC: crime for loan production employees to choose appraisers or contact an appraiser about valuation

• HVCC has been replaced with Dodd/Frank Act

presented by

• Dodd/Frank: Federal crime for loan production employees to contact appraiser about valuation

• Important: Dodd/Frank does cover realtors!

• BUT: Realtors have right to discuss valuation with appraisers

Mistakes To Avoid

#1) Always use local appraisers (national lenders work with national appraisal companies)

#2) Listing agent should always meet appraiser at the property!

Appraised value sticks:

• FHA – 4 months

• VA – 6 months

Appraisal comes in low, now what?

Less than 10% chance of raising value of an appraisal

Appraisers have no incentive to do a great job –you need to be proactive in protecting your transaction!

Selling AgentResponsibilities

• Take control of financing portion of transaction• You MUST work with a local loan officer• That loan officer MUST work for company that

has control of quality of appraisers used.

Premier Mortgage Group:• In-house appraisal management division• Identified best appraisers in the market• Strict guidelines and lending training for appraisers• Our appraisers do great work, are paid well

presented by

Listing AgentResponsibilities

• Seller will be angry with YOU if deal does not close (not buyer, buyer’s agent, or lender)

• Get it right the first time – less than 10% chance of increasing the valuation after appraisal– If considering an offer, find out if buyer’s lender can

control appraisal process or employ an AMC– If they use an AMC, voice concern (loudly) that AMC’s

do not provide good service

presented by


• Keep schedule flexible to accommodate appraiser• Meet appraiser at the property every single time!

– Bring helpful information for appraiser– If appraiser mentions HVCC or Dodd/Frank and does

not want you there, call lender to request next appraiser in the rotation

• A contract extension is much simpler than raising a low appraisal

Appraiser packet suggestions:1. Contract

2. Listing brochure

3. List of all property upgrades, completion dates and costs

4. The sketch if property was measured before listing

5. County assessor records

6. Listing history

7. 1004MC form obtained from MLS listing service

8. Comparables to support sales price (listed, pending, sold)

presented by


Before looking for comparables:

1. Pull up a 1004MC form

2. This form will dictate the comparables needed

3. Example:– 1004MC shows

values are declining

– Investor requires minimum3 comps that closed in past3 months

– PLUS 2 listing or pending sales

4. All comparables must adjust for at or above appraised value

Determining List Price –to- Sale Price Ratio


Meeting appraiser at the property:

• Setup as for a buyer showing (clean and well-cared for matters)• Offer to help hold measuring tape (maybe time to offer the sketch?)• Meet somewhere you can spread out materials you prepared:

– Review 1004MC form

– Explain why you chose the comps you have

– Show other comps you found, and explain why they are poor comps

– Tell about the property’s special features

presented by


Meeting appraiser at the property:

• Turn appraiser loose (do not follow from room-to-room)• Before appraiser leaves:

– Ask if able to meet minimum FHA standards

– “Really appreciate if you would contact me if problem with values”

• If there are value issues – don’t panic!– Stay friendly with appraiser

– Offer to do more research on comps

– Consider contract extension
